TUF 14 coach, Michael Bisping appeared on Ariel Helwani‘s The MMA Hour and may have said something relevant about Chael Sonnen, who claims he will regain a Middleweight title-shot should he defeat Brian Stann at UFC 136 this October 8th. In regard to that next-in-line shot, Bisping told Helwani, “I think it’s complete bulls**t. Chael Sonnen, who just fought the champ, cheated and took steroids.” Bisping went on to say, “I think I am next in line. Ideal scenario would be beat Miller, get a title shot, win the world title.”
Now Bisping also has clear perspective understanding that, a win over Jason Miller isn’t exactly title-shot worthy. Meanwhile, Anderson Silva has a shoulder injury, which is expected to leave him out of the Octagon until sometime in 2012. Perhaps the UFC gods will plan to pit the winner of Sonnen vs. Stann against the Bisping vs. Miller winner and determine the next contender from there. Michael Bisping will face Jason “Mayhem” Miller this December 3rd after TUF 14 airs this fall.
The outspoken Sonnen has yet to tweet a response but expect something borderline logical and debatably amusing to come: here.
